Yep, no problem.

You can reset service reminder, clear fault codes, run diagnostics, etc.

Been wanting to get one for a while. Is there a hidden menu on non-Nav cars? The pics I've seen about getting to it all show the Nav option installed.

Thanks,

I'd really like to make some of those same changes when I take delivery of my new Q5. How difficult is it? I'm usually good with computers and electronics. What is needed to be purchased to do this?

Thanks.

Yes, it will work with non-NAV. It's called "concert" or MMI 2G...

Hidden menu: C99 reported (http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthrea...x.html?p=32223) in an A5OC.com thread how you can access a hidden maintenance menu via MMI. (This may require the "real" MMI 2G, it may not work on a Concert/Symphony radio and MMI 3G hidden menu is enabled differently, see below. See here for more on the "real" MMI vs. radios: http://a6retrofit.tripod.com/articles/a4a5realmmi.html).

Apparently you can access this hidden menu by holding down CAR and SETUP for five/six seconds. There are whole host of settings you can access here, like adjusting MMI timings, visible options - apparently you can even adjust the TV blackout speed or remove it. I hear you can also make CAR menu selections appear without speed limit. WARNING! According to reports don't select "Bootloader", it will lock the system in a software update mode without a way out (http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showthrea...x.html?p=38153)... Some general info on the same/similar hidden menu in A6 is here: http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktio...7283&ajax=true. If this menu doesn’t work and your MMI version is up to date, you need to enable the menu with the following VAG-COM steps: Head unit controller (07), Adaptation, Channel 8, change 0 to 1, Save.

All you need to do it is purchase the ross tech cable. That's it. You'll need a computer, preferably a lap top.

Not a problem, I hope that you will pay a beer sometime


Look really nice and powerful

Lots of good info, thank you!

I'd love to! Would really be cool if we'd ever all be able to get together for an Audifest type event.

In comparing the PDF's that Spijun has provided to the boards, the new brembo calipers should fit not problem.

I am staying with the same size rotors from MY 2011-MY 2013, so nothing changes there.

The mounting areas on the front suspension arm are exactly the same for both old and new components.

Plus, the Rotor Screw (N 106 483 01), the Splash/Heat Shield Screw (N 107 414 02), and the Caliper Mount Bolt (N 911 476 01) are all the same between model years. Meaning that everything should have the same dimensions, etc.

There should be no issues at all according to the parts diagrams, just plug & play. I got new bolts for both front sides for the calipers mount, rotor mount and heat shield mount, just because they are cheap so why not?

Getting excited to see the results. Can't hardly wait for Monday/Tuesday.

The biggest issue would be if you are coming from 18" or 19" wheels in the pre-facelift MY's, as the Brembo brakes are bigger. I'm running 20" wheels which shouldn't cause any issues, plus I'll be running spacers if all looks good.

Maybe that's why they dropped the 19" 5-arm wheel and the 18" 10-spoke from the 2013 MY?
